got a new iMac and the f10 function (where all open pages are displayed like a grid)

[LaydeeBug]

is not there.

It is driving me crazy.

Yes, I went into System preferences. And mission control...

Please tell me there's a way. Please help me.

1. I'm on my crappy Snow Leopard driven Mac at work.

Brought in my Mountain Lion MacBook Pro yesterday, not today.

Not sure if it's the same in ML, but did you try System Preferences > Keyboard > Keyboard Shortcuts

I can check for a solution at home after 5 eastern.

2. I don't know. try f9, or f11

[LaydeeBug]

3. I did. None of them do it. I am lost.

I am just getting used to no google window...all url/google mix. THAT I will get used to.

THIS, on the other hand...THIS is a blow.

[Voice for Peace]

10. you will adapt

luckily we are adaptable.. or I would be lost.

4. You should be able able to turn on your 'hot corners'

in System Preferences, assign that function (Exposé?) and then just shove your cursor into that corner to make it happen. I can't give you detailed instructions because I'm on my iPhone in my car.

Do a search for Exposé.

5. Try f5

Looking at my keyboard that appears to be where it is.

[LaydeeBug]

7. nothing with f5. nt

6. There's a crazy gesture that I think works it on my unit at work...

But I don't know where it is in system preferences.

Check your system prefs > trackpad/mouse settings.

8. so mission control says that it gives you an overview of all your windows...

still can't figure out how to get it to do that though.

9. Are you talking about all the windows you have open in a particular browser?

[LaydeeBug]

15. yes. nt

[romana]

11. keyboard

Did you get the wireless keyboard with it? Try pressing the F3 button. There should also be an icon in your doc called Mission Control.

[LaydeeBug]

16. yes, it is the wireless keyboard that came with this mac. Hasn't been used more than two weeks. nt

12. ----Hit the fn button (lower left of keyboard) and 9 at the same time (F9) to activate Exposé

http://www.apple.com/findouthow/mac/#exposebasics

[LaydeeBug]

13. that just muted the sound. nt

[NYC_SKP]

17. Now now... First Hold down the fn button, don't let it go...

And while you're holding it down go up to top row of buttons that have in *tiny* letters, F9 and F10, and push those to see what happens.

So, again, hold keep DOWN the fn button (keep it down), then press the F9 button.

If that doesn't do it hold DOWN the fn button (don't let go) then press the F10 button!

[LaydeeBug]

18. now, now...it only mutes my sound (and f9 does nothing) button held or not. nt

[LaydeeBug]

14. When I hit the f3 button to activate expose, absolutely nothing happens. nt

[LaydeeBug]

19. when I press command and the number one key, it takes me to amazon.com. not kidding.

No windows arranged alphabetically, just another tab opens and it's amazon.com

Well played amazon.com. Well played.

[NYC_SKP]

20. There must be an Amazon purchase in your future.

And you don't even know it!

If it's a scarf for CreekDog, make it a muted grey with blue stripes!



Seriously though, if you have a button with "fn" on it, and you hold it down while hitting top row "9" button, it should give you Expose, or whatever it's called.

Any other action means, I think, that your settings differ from the default and you'll have to go into the settings department.

Have you tried Apple Genius tech support or any of the Apple Discussion boards?
